Chapter 100: Trading Partner

Yan Qing nodded: "Great-Uncle now has an army of about ten thousand people, and he could rebel at any time."

"Moreover, Sister Yan Ning also wrote a letter to Grandfather Emperor. Her original intention was to persuade him not to send troops to attack them, but in the end, Grandfather Emperor misunderstood and felt it was a provocation."

The Empress Dowager gave a cold snort: "Your Grandfather Emperor has that foul temper; he sees everyone as a threat to him."

After a good while, the Empress Dowager sighed again, "Your Great-Uncle and Sister Yan Ning, they were so well-behaved, yet now they have been forced to rebel."

"You must not be like your Grandfather Emperor."

Yan Qing nodded obediently: "I will listen to Great-Grandmother in everything."

Yan Qing also whispered: "When I become Emperor, I will let Great-Uncle return to the Capital."

The Empress Dowager's expression turned serious: "You must not say such things in front of others from now on."

Yan Qing nodded obediently once more: "I will only say it to Great-Grandmother."

The next day at the morning Court.

The news of the Emperor flying into a rage in the Imperial Study yesterday had spread.

No one had expected that the always gentle First Prince would write such a provocative letter.

Only Yan Qing and the Empress Dowager, with their thick filters, could think that this letter was one of persuasion.

An official who had been in the Imperial Study yesterday said: "It wasn't written by the First Prince, it was written by the little Princess; the First Prince's handwriting isn't that ugly."

The crowd sighed even more.

Before long, the Emperor arrived, and everyone stood neatly in an instant.

The Emperor still had a look of anger on his face and asked directly: "I presume you have all heard of the Explosive Package recently; can anyone think of a strategy to deal with it?"

At this moment, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War stepped forward: "This subject has a plan."

The Emperor: "Let's hear it."

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of War said: "Since they use Explosive Packages, we shall stay far away and shoot them with bows and arrows; how could they deal with that?"

But soon, he was refuted by the court officials: "Although bows and arrows are fast, they each have a suit of armor and are wrapped up tightly; even if we hit them, it may not necessarily cause fatal damage."

"And Eunuch Li also said that they have a very magical item in their hands; as long as one has a breath left, drinking it can save them."

Another official walked out, "Your Majesty, please think twice. We should not fight this war. The First Prince has money, and everyone has armor, while our national treasury is empty; it is not suitable to wage war at this time!"

"Your Majesty, the First Prince currently has no intention of attacking, why not just let it be?"

"Or, could we negotiate for peace?"

The Emperor flew into a rage once again.

He sent the official who spoke of peace directly to the Jianlao.

At this moment, everyone was as quiet as a quail.

The Emperor was somewhat displeased, "Does anyone else have an idea?"

This time, the officials all kept silent.

Just kidding, if you say the wrong thing, you get thrown into prison; who could sincerely think of a solution?

There were also many officials missing the First Prince. If the First Prince succeeded in his rebellion, with his gentle nature, he would absolutely never be so temperamental.

Some even felt that the First Prince held the explosives but had not attacked because he was too kind, and was only forced to recruit troops after being driven to a dead end.

Now, no one in the Court dared to speak for the First Prince, fearing that one wrong word would lead to being locked in the Jianlao.

The Emperor was in a fit of impotent rage on the Dragon Throne, but no one below stood up to offer a suggestion.

The Emperor roared: "A bunch of useless trash!"

Saying this, he left the Dadian.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Being scolded was better than being locked up.

Chaoyang Village.

Yan Ze was somewhat excited: "The trading partner has refreshed again!"

He was full of anticipation, hoping only that this time it would be the Modern Plane, or a future plane would also do; in short, he needed some weapons.

Yan Ze immediately returned to his room, while Yan Ning covered for him.

Yan Ning sat beside him and saw her father sitting on the bed with a dazed expression.

Yan Ze was somewhat surprised; the person on the other side was actually from a cultivation plane, and he saw the other party stepping on a flying sword, his white clothes fluttering.

The person on the other side said: "Wait a moment."

As he spoke, Yan Ze saw him accelerate, like a shooting star, flying toward a Dongfu.

The Dongfu was very simple, containing only a bed and a table, with a large bead hanging at the head of the bed, emitting a soft light.

Yan Ze watched this scene and felt his heart turn cold.

He did not have any good items to trade.

Lu Haochen, who was this time's trading partner, asked him directly: "Do you have any delicacies there? Seeing how well you are dressed, you must be in a big city; bring me a portion of whatever good food you have."

"As for the exchange, due to trading restrictions, we can only provide some Spirit Soil and Spirit Fruit from our cultivation plane."

Yan Ze was somewhat curious: "What is the use of Spirit Soil and Spirit Fruit?"

Lu Haochen said: "Spirit Soil is used to grow various spirit plants; of course, it can also be used to grow the fruit trees from your side, which will make the fruit trees grow better."

"Spirit Fruit can increase the cultivation of cultivators, and for ordinary people, it can prolong life."

Yan Ze immediately said: "Wait a moment while I find someone to cook; it's just that I can't provide too much at once, I'm afraid the chef will be suspicious."

Yan Ze took out some beast meat from the Cold Fresh Warehouse and asked Li Dachu to cook.

Yes, Li Dachu was still there; he had not followed them to the small island, only his wife and daughter had been sent there.

Yan Ze said: "Please make a bit more food in a while, twenty plates."

Li Dachu was surprised: "Why do you need so much? Didn't you just eat?"

Yan Ning tossed him a Pouch, which contained twenty taels of silver inside.

Li Dachu put it away and went to cook immediately.

Never mind twenty dishes; as long as the money was sufficient, he would make two hundred dishes if asked.

Li Dachu had excellent culinary skills, and the dishes were prepared one by one very quickly, while Yan Ning and Yan Ze were responsible for carrying the dishes away.

In just over an hour, twenty dishes were laid out on the table, and Yan Ze opened the Trading System and pressed the connection button.

This button could notify the other party to conduct a trade.

Yan Ze sent the dishes over to him one by one, "Some of these dishes have gone cold; do they need to be heated up?"

Lu Haochen on the other side shook his head, "No need, I can heat them up myself, but your food really looks delicious; it's even carved with flowers."

Lu Haochen accepted all 20 dishes from this meal, then took out five bricks, a basket of miscellaneous Spirit Fruit, and also gave them some Seed.

Lu Haochen: "I don't know what these Seed are either; in any case, they are all mixed together."

Thinking of the effects of these Spirit Fruit, Yan Ze was quite happy.

As soon as he came out, he stuffed a fruit that looked like a green peach into Yan Ning's mouth.

Yan Ning took a bite, and her eyes lit up: "What is this? It's so delicious."

Yan Ze said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of fruit it is; it was given to us by that cultivator, along with five bricks of Spirit Soil and Spirit Fruit Seed."

Yan Ning looked at those five bricks; they were pitch-black and showed no special features.

She was a bit curious, "This is the remainder; it doesn't look like much."

Yan Ze explained: "These are small soil bricks made of compressed spiritual power; one small brick can grow many things."

"Let's go, we'll plant them; we'll use flowerpots so it will be convenient to take them with us later."
